Connections

Gateway to Controller
The Galaxy Gateway receives power and communications from
the controller. Use the following procedure and Figure A-3 to
connect the Galaxy Gateway to the Vector controller.

1. Locate 848575841 controller interface cable provided in the

kit.

2. Identify the end with a black, 14 position connector.

Connect this end to P4 on the BLJ3 terminal connector
board.

3. The red and black leads should be connected to posts

marked ABS and DG of the BLJ3. The ABS connection is
protected by a 2 ampere fuse F1 (top fuse) on the BLJ3
terminal board. F3 holds a spare 2 amp fuse if needed. The
maximum current required by the Gateway is 600mA.
Verify that the current required by all equipment connected
to these ABS connections does not exceed the capacity of
the fuse. Connect the black 4-position connector of the
cable to the P1 power connector on the Galaxy Gateway.
Power will be applied to the Galaxy Gateway when this
cable is plugged into P1. The DB-9 male (9 pin) connector
will not be connected until after the Gateway is configured.

4. After the connection to P1, wait approximately 45 seconds.

The Yellow status LED should blink, indicating that the
Gateway is ready to be configured.
